Have you made promises with no intention of keeping the promises?

Tweet

Usually children do that, they promised their parents to do sweep the floor, tidy the room and do housework, but they have no intention to keep the promises. I was one of those kids. Some husbands do promise to help their wives too, but they have no intention to do the housework, always want to escape with excuses like tiredness, headache etc. Some adults do make promises with no intention to keep. Sometimes it is due to the pressure from friends, asking them to attend the church service or go some other places. Well, those friends sometimes press them to make a promise to attend, so they promise their friends. Then they will avoid their friends at all cost. Even in workplace, some people promised to help out at certain events, always with "sure, I promise to help", but they never do. Have you ever made promises with no intention of keeping the promises? Have you met anyone who make promise to you, and you know in your heart of hearts that this person will not keep his promise?
